Thanks to everyone who came or sent messages of support yesterday, so glad to have friends like you & proud of our fight to #savelibrarywalk
Some Friends of Library Walk of us enjoying the curve & hiding from the carbuncle last night #savelibrarywalk
we are the ginnel that roared and we wont be silent with so many friends! see some of you 6pm to celebrate, share, remember #savelibrarywalk
The ginnel that roared will never be silenced! 5 reasons to remember #savelibrarywalk today, in person (meet 6pm at central library or tweet
1) @ManCityCouncil ignored the voices of residents and experts alike. neither love nor logic listened to #savelibrarywalk @SaveLibraryWalk
2) as so many suffer austerity £ found for a folley no-one wanted with no evidence of need. £3.7million reasons to remember #savelibrarywalk
3) #savelibrarywalk was a glimpse of much bigger problems - erosion of public space, fight for disability rights, loss of heritage + beauty
and we are so very grateful for all the support & friendship for #savelibrarywalk
and we are so very grateful for all the support & friendship for #savelibrarywalk
YES! join us today 6pm to do just that....
*swoon* we will remember #savelibrarywalk
*swoon* we will remember #savelibrarywalk
sad but true @binaryape @ManCityCouncil each fight makes us stronger and brings more people together
tomorrow we will walk through the carbuncle, share stories & lessons learnt & meet friends who love Mcr heritage enough to fight for it
thanks, much appreciated. we want to pass on what we learnt and help protect public space everywhere
